I've been looking around at high chairs and nothing really stands out. What sort of features do you look for in a high chair? Are the ones with compartments any good, or more annoying to clean? Is there any benefit for the wooden ones?

The wooden ones are so much easier to clean than the "Gucci" bells and whistles evenflow (or similar) ones.
If i had my time again, id get a mocka highchair, but since ive already bought one we just stick with it. We actually chose it because it could recline and we could put a baby in it that couldnt sit unaided, however we never used it as a chair and Issy didnt eat solids until after she could sit, so we didnt actually need that feature. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

The only thing I kept in mind when buying our highchairs was making sure that the clips were easy use.
We did get highchairs that recline which we use for bottle time which I have found invaluable with twins but having said that I would have gone for more simplistic ones if I had my time over again. |

i would definitely get a wooden / plastic or vinyl one next time. I got one with a detachable fabric cushion cover that is just stupid cos you pretty much have to take it off and wash it after each meal.
It has got top the stage now that i don't often bother with the cover and just sit DD straight on the plastic. ------------- |

| we got ours brand new off TM, it has a fabric seat but its super easy to clean and it folds down flat and in half, so we just chuck it in our cupboard between uses . |

| We were given an old high-chair which I used to start with but it was such a pain to clean - so many places where food got stuck. Gave it away and bought a wooden Mocka one. So easy to clean!! Also very adjustable, now we don't use the tray and our toddler still sits in the chair, but right at the table with us. |

We've got the Mocka designer chair - fantastic!
Mika is a VERY MESSY eater (we do BLW), and thank heavens for this chair. You sweep it clean in just a few seconds. The wooden Mocka one would probably be nicer if they get a little bit older, because they can climb on and off it themselves, which promotes their independence. I would have gotten that one if I had the money, although it's not as easy to clean as the designer one. ( I was lucky to get mine on TM second hand) |
